BACK AT THE END Op THE FIELD A HIS BOOKMAKER Carter Sees Law Ignored In Europe's War By BOAKE CARTER LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28. riE Altmark incident off the Norwegian coast is probably the best illustration to date of the current war showing the fallacy of quoting international law in wartime. It also shows or should show to American citizens a very clear reason why we should not grow emotional, because one of our own ships may be sunk or seized. The Altmark was in Norwegian territorial waters, armed and carrying a hold full of British naval prisoners.

A British destroyer dashed into those territorial waters, boarded the German ship, caused her to run aground and rescued the prisoners. The Norwegians angrily accused the British of violating international law by committing a warlike act within Norwegian waters. The Germans accused the British of plain piracy. The British accused the Norwegians of breaking international law by permitting an armed vessel of a belligerent nation, containing prisoners, to proceed through neutral waters on a mission of war. The Germans demanded redress from the Norwegians, under threats of reprisals.

In as stiff a note any neutral has received from a belligerent; the British demanded the Norwegians intern the Alt-mark. The Norwegians threatened to cut off their trade from the British. Out of that welter of charge and countercharge, the fact stands forth clear that all three nations involved violated international law! But all three are yelling that one or the other "started" it gave him a Pair, of Binoculars GOODMANS SOUND-EFFECT-MAN NASA VERY DEAD PAN So'me Things, People By DOROTHY KILGALLEN NEW YORK, Feb. 28.

By JACK KOFOED The "Easy Aces" went to jai alai the other night. As I have mentioned before "Easy Aces" present my favorite radio show.

Going with them to Senor Dick Berensen's fronton, I found out why. They are natural and unaffected, and realize that they have to work even harder now to keep their place than they did in earlier days to get there. And Goodman Ace, who writes all the scripts so amazingly well, doesn't depend on gags that, in the long run grow stale and tiresome. He builds situations that might happen to you or me, or anybody. That's why he and Jane have been on the air for 10 years, and there is no Immediate liklihood, thank heaven, of them going off for a long time.

Jane is small and smart, and in no wise the dumb wife she plays on the ether. But, it can also be Baid that she is one of the world's three most conservative bettors. A two dollar place wager is the heighth of daring for her, but she much prefers the show spot If they paid off for fourth position Jane would probably risk her money there. Maybe it's a good idea. There shouldn't be two chance takers in the same family, and Goodman Ace likes to spread his bets around.

His idea of handling the situation is eight or 10 qulniela combinations, as many bets across the board, and two or three tiekets on a long shot The system probably works here and there, but Ace hit the daily double and won a few quinielas and things like that and still wound up a loser. "I've got a bookmaker up North," he said, "who mothers me like a hen does her chickens. On rainy days he calls up to warn me about wearing goloshe and carrying an umbrella. He sends me medicine, and is continually asking how I feel. It would break his heart if I got sick, because I'm his best customer and good customers are hard to find.

I needed them, at that, because they were usually way back at the end of the field, and a guy Palmer Says Welles Trip Has Europe Curious By COL. FREDERICK PALMER ROME, Feb. 28. (By Cable) INFERENCES to the traditional Amer- ican speed in Rome today included no mention of haste.

Sumner Welles, undersecretary of state, whom President Roosevelt sent on a fact-finding tour of Europe, never appears hurried, although be walks with a light, rapid step. Rome, as a sounding board, neither echoes nor imparts the state of mind in other European chancelleries. Not the brevity of the undersecretary's stay in Rome, but the length of his conference with Premier Mussolini and Count Ciano, Italy's foreign minister, is being stressed here. What has been called the "American mission of curiosity" is the subject of rising curiosity tonight Foreign diplomatic circles have been vainly eager to get even the slightest bint of what transpired at those conferences. It is clear that these circles will learn nothing from the American representative nor from Italian sources.

Welles, it seems certain, Is strictly on a listening mission and will impart no information which he is receiving In confidence. The undersecretary was described by one diplomat as a sprinting sphinx, and, being accompanied by "that intellectual face and reserve and poise" It appears as though nobody could pry secrets out of him. Hardly knowh'in Europe two weeks ago, Relies has become famous over night almost, and there is not a statesman in Europe who would not like to meet him. His diplomatic experience and his direct, easy way is bound to appeal to Mussolini, who is not given to wasting words. Some of these days President Roosevelt will know just what Welles and Mussolini said to each other at today's conference, and this Is something that all Europe would like to know tonight The distinguished-looking Welles, tall and wearing a morning coat was received this morning by Count Ciano with a welcoming smile, nad this afternoon by Premier Mussolini.

William Phillips, the American ambassador to Rome, an old associate of is saying that the undersecretary's visit had been Invaluable in Improving good relations between the United States and Italy. An outstanding fact further emphasized im European diplomatic circles in Rome is that Premier Mussolin's Italy has 44,000,000 people, 4,000,000 men under arms is rapidly augmenting a navy as a power that will be influential in framing peace terms in the future. And Welles represented the friendly inquiry of 130,000,000 people, whose chief interest is good relations among all nations. Speculation is rife In diplomatic circles here, and in following Welles' tour they express many viewpoints, correspondent has heard suggestions that the listening mission with no proposals can hardly fail of being of mutual service between any two nations. It has also been described as a truly American venture, which has a always attributed to Americans, in the conventional European point of view.

The chief puzzle here why is Welles moving so fast? has a static answer in the explanation that the most valuable man in the state department cannot be spared very long. (North Aawrlcaa Newspaper Alliaace, Inc.) Phillips Describes Quiz For Picture Editor By H. I PHILLIPS NEW YORK, Feb. 28. HI Friend of mine, applied for a job as caption writer on a picture newspaper.

"How would you caption three pictures showing a stage actor on a binge?" the E. asked him. "Act one, act two, act three." "A foreign ship sailing from New York harbor?" "Braves German subs." "European beauty arriving on ship, with movie aspirations?" Hollywood bound." "Society gal basking in the sun at Mi needed glasses to even get a glimpse at them through the dust the other nags kicked up. "But, at that, I don't get so much chance to play around. Writing and playing those three shows a week keeps me pretty busy sometimes a little worried, too.

We don't have a studio audience, so have to wait for the mail to find out how a certain sequence is going over. There was a court-room scene we had, with Jane as the juror, that I thought was pretty good. Nobody said anything about it in the studio, and there was no great mention of it in the mail, so I chopped it short. "We have a sound effects man, with a very dead pan. During that entire court-room sequence he never cracked one way or another.

No smile, no remarks about liking it Only, when I washed it out he said: "Why did you do that? It was the best thing you've had in a long time." And the mail began pouring in, asking the same question. By that time, of course, it was too late to do anything about it And, after all, I'm a nervous man. No, that's in the script I'm not very nervous, really. "Much as I like doing the show a certain monotony creeps into things. Not in writing, or acting, but in being at the same place at exactly the same time.

of seeing the same faces. of hearing Ford Bond tell the same jokes over and over again. We've had the same production man for three years. He likes golf and once or twice a week he'll tell about a score he'd made. He winds up by asking if I play golf.

When he first asked that question three years ago I told him yes. I've told him the same thing every week since, but do you think that discourages him? Not a bit I'll give you all the 9-to-5 you want that the day I walk into the studio after this vacation he'll ask if I play golf. "That's why I love it when I can slip away on a trip to Miami. to sit on the beach in the morning, and go to the track in the afternoon, and to jai alai or something in the evening. It's a change, and everybody needs a change once in a while.

And, if I look like the postman ready to ring twice, with this handful of tickets, I don't lose much. How can I when I've got a bet on practically everybody out there? "Jane is smarter than I am, at that I guess. She started with a four dollar bet last week, and has run it up to 110 so far. But, she gets so excited over winning or losing it will probably cost her 5,000 to get rid of a nervous breakdown from the effects," he groaned. "I've had so much fun it almost gives me a breakdown to think of working again.

but I've got to get on those scripts right away. The need is so urgent that I won't even get out to Hia-leah for Widener day. I've been there so much it probably won't be official unless I have a bet on the last horse to finish but I'll hope for the best" Jane interrupted. "I want you to get me a show ticket on Segundo in the sixth," she said. "But he's a heavy favorite," Ace protested.

"He won't pay better than $2.40." Jane powdered her nose. "Any price is a good price if you win," she said. And she rooted for her forty cents profit against the 50 dollars her husband had riding on somebody else. That's the Aces! Clapper Hits At Tactics Used In Georgia By RAYMOND CLAPPER r' GEORGIA, as in Ohio, the politicians who are working for a third term are the ones who are trying to prevent Democratic voters from registering a primary preference regarding the 1940 Democratic presidential nomination. They are scuttling the direct popular presidential preference primary and going back to the old system of stooge delegates, named by the boss.

In these cases, and similar ones which are appearing around the country, you have a reversal of the lineup in earlier years. The presidential preference primary was stablished by progressives or liberals by the LaFollettes, the Norrises and the men who were the "New Dealers" of the previous political generation. Bosses, those politicians labelled as "reactionary," the tools of "the interests," always fought the direct primary. They favored the methods now being used by the pro-Roosevelt politicianssecret hand-picking. They do it in the name ot the people instead of for the "interests." Here in Georgia you ask pro-administration politicians why they don't want a primary.

Their answer is: "The voters don't want a primary. The only ones who are agitating for a primary are the Garner people. They have a lot of money and it would be interesting to know where that money is coming from." So the plan In Georgia is that Governor Rivers, who favors re-nomination of President Roosevelt, probably will refuse to call a primary. It can be called only by the state Democratic committee. Governor Rivers owns the committee.

President Roosevelt could easily carry a primary in Georgia. But pro-Roosevelt forces don't want a primary because they don't want to bring Mr. Roosevelt out directly as candidate. Mr. Roosevelt is understood to have suggested to Governor Rivers soma time ago that Georgia send an "unlnstructed delegation." He meant one selected by Governor and therefore ready to approve anything Mr.

Roosevelt suggested. It would be possible for Governor Rivers to call a primary and himself stand as Georgia's favorite son except that at the moment there is some question whether he is Georgia's favorite son. The governor is criticized by many people here because he called out the national guard to bar the state highway chairman, W. I Miller, from his office. Rivers ousted the highway chairman In a political feud.

He had Miller literally dragged out of his office, and has kept troops around the! capitol building In defiance of a federal court order that the highway chairman should be allowed to proceed with his official duties. Garner men are making the fight for a presidential primary. This movement is headed by Edgar Dunlap, who managed the senatorial re-election campaign of Sen. Walter George during the purge, and there Is an element of revenge against the purge in this demand for a primary. Senator George Is sympathetic to it as is former Gov.

Eugene Talmadge, who still is something of a pied piped among the country folks. Scuffling over the third term is bringing out the worst in Democratic politics, here as elsewhere. Democratic speakers are correct who say that the continued silence of Mr. Roosevelt is demoralizing the party. He may be having a good time but no one else Is.

Mall qjI Says Women Backing Hull's Program be announced soon. The French who have been out of our dark leaf tobacco market from which they usually take 20,000,000 pounds annually, have sent inside notice to government officials that they are resuming purchases. Lord Lothian, the British ambassador, has been in almost daily conference at the state department emerging with batches of penciled notes concerning purchasing arrangements and ideas for liquidation of British-held American securities. By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.

A remarkable inside job of propagandizing among women for the Hull trade agreements program has been noted by amazed congressmen in their mails. Western legislators here particularly have been receiving sheaves of organized letters from consumers groups, many of them very left wing, and from the league of women voters, and the American association of university women. These groups have Interested a number of university professors, promoted forums and radio talks, along the line that high tariffs hurt the consumers and cheaper foreign importations keep down prices. A hot basement fire has thus been built up to sweat congress Indirectly through organizations, whose decentralized activities out in the states have not become nationally noticeable. Hull and his official associates here have only gone through the normal motions of propaganda work so that from surface developments, you would hardly know a campaign of such proportions was in progress.

Scheming: Confidential code advices from cruising President Roosevelt have Indicated to his staff here that he may stop off at the Netherlands islands of Curacaco and Aruba on the way back from the canal zone. Offcialdom here does not know why, but it is a matter of inside knowledge that when Hitler massed German troops against the Netherlands border, some weeks ago, Roosevelt massed a few cruisers in the Caribbean nearest the vital spots in the Dutch West Indies. It may now be told that this government would not have permitted these strategic points near the Panama canal to fall into dictatorial hands. An arrangement was probably made privately with the Netherlands government although this cannot be related definitely on good authority. There is one fact that American citizens who want to keep clear of the war in Europe should understand definitely.

And that is: there is no such nicety as observance of written rules and regulations of world society when the major nations who write the laws are engaged in a struggle of life and death. Germany Is a gross violator of international law. But she is matched, violation for violation, by Great Britain, by France, by Russiaand when the United States entered the last great war, by America, too! In a fight nobody observes the Marquis of Queensberry rules. True, when the fight starts, one claims he Is more of a gentleman than' she other. But as the fight progresses, becomes more intense and more bitter, gentlemanly instincts "are tossed wholly overboard and the belligerent who can kick the hardest below the belt is the one who will win.

Never forget that no nation will' ever admit it hits below the belt, but If caught red-handed, will claim that his opponent hit below the belt first and that therefore his retaliation on a similar standard was justified. The Germans call the British blockade "below-the-belt" war on German women and children. The British call the German air raids on fishing vessels off the British coast "below-the-belt" warfare. The Americans declare British seizure of American ships bound to non-warring countries "below the belt" So do the Germans. The British say such seizures are justified lest the contents of the vessels ultimately reach Germany, her enemy, and that anyway, all Is fair in love and war.

The Norwegians have called the British hitters "below the The British charged the Norwegians were condoning "below-the-belt" tactics with the Alt-mark. The Germans snarled at every one and made some fancy claims about their own International piety. The point of Americans to remember at all times when a major war is raging is that every combatant is In a struggle which, if he loses, means death to him, economic and financial. Therefore every combatant Is out to win. If winning requires that they adopt the tactics of a gangster then all the written treaties, all the parchments, all the agreements and all the precepts of Christian teaching won't amount to a hill of beans.

In every major war fought by the Germans they have used gangster tactics. But Americans are apt to forget that the British and French have adopted similar tactics in every war they have fought By virtue of their dominance, through their empires and their world control of finance, they hava usually come out the victors. Therefore they have been enabled, through their propaganda machines, to depict themselves as angels and their victims as the only gangsters. There is no question of preserving law and order in this war in Europe. It is a question of two great financial systems and two great economic schools of thought at each other's throats again for trade, for commerce and, therefore, for the right to exist in the manner and fashion each desires to live.

Fre Precaution: Roosevelt's excursion among the Pacific islands off the canal inadvertently brought to light a wholly new issue phase of his neutrality zone program. The 300 mile limit was fixed in order to bring in all the defensive islands which might be used as a basis of air attack in this hemisphere.

This precaution will be followed with a mutual agreement whereby any zone government may use the ports of any other nation for their battleships without the usual restrictions. This way, the United States will have the right to use all these islands owned by the Panama and other governments, and in emergency we will be able to establish anti-aircraft defenses upon them. The old idea of buying the islands rumors of which have arisen out of the Roosevelt trip do not seem to be justified. Asparagus: Scurviest trick of vengeful politicians is to plant dusty personal reflections upon their adversaries in the Washington personality columns. A sufferer lately has been new Supreme Court Justice Murphy, who must have left a thousand enemies behind him in the government, judging from the amount of aspersions cast at him by the gossip purveyors such stuff as his delay in assuming the bench for a Florida vacation, that he had written friends in Michigan urging them to nominate him for some public office because he was already tired of the bench, and so forth, and so forth.

Only on extraordinary occasions does a supreme court justice consent to receive newsmen, but a group was able to get in to see new Justice Murphy at their own request No quotation was permitted, but you may be sure: Murphy is not a candidate for anything except peace on the bench, and this includes the vice-presidency.

Rush Holt of West Virginia to hold off on his anti-third-term resolution.

The appealing group is composed almost entirely of senators who are up for re-election this year. They are against third terms but do not want to vote on the resolution because they may have to run on the same ticket with Roosevelt Also some of them are running for 3rd, 4th and 5th terms. (King Features Syndicate, Inc) Stimulant: Fresh buying here by the Allies will Billopp Meets Some Precocious Children You don't suppose, do you, that the Hatch act Is having something to do with the reluctance of administration forces to permit primaries? The Hatch act prevents federal employes fom participating actively in campaigns. When Senator Hatch proposes the same principle for state employes who are partly paid out of federal funds, the opposition is led by Senator Minton, the Indiana New Dealer. Again it is the conservatives, not the New Dealers, who are fighting for this legislation to move the public payroll a step away from politics.

More accurately, the "ins" are opposing anything, whether it be direct primaries or clean politics legislation, that might interfere with manipulations to perpetuate their power. It happens that those In power are New Dealers, supposedly favoring more direct rule of the people. They act exactly as did the Old Dealers, when they held the power and sought by closed-door, hand-picking methods, to perpetuate that power. Political power is insidious. Those who exercise it, no matter what their general point of view, apparently succumb eventually to the age-old tendency to withdraw power from the people and keep it their own hands.

PRECOCIOUS children are children who put you at your ease when you come to pay a visit by calling your first name. When their mother suggests that they run out and play, they say, "No," that they prefer to remain where they are and listen vto your conversation. Precocious children want to know the reasons for things; as, for example, what you have done with your hair or what makes your nose so red, and, when their mother "shushes" them, they show their displeasure by making faces and kicking the leg ot the chair. They win gladly sing for you, play for you, dance for you or recite a poem, according to their particular talent And they will show you the pictures they have painted and drawn over quite a long period of time. If their mother endeavors to conceal from them bits of conversation by spelling words out they assure her that she can't fool them; that they know what those words spell.

And they usually do. Precocious children are sensitive about errors in fact Should someone attribute to Tuesday something that happened on Wednesday, they are prompted to offer correction, and will suggest that they be permitted to tell you an ancedote, confident that you will obtain it more accurately from them. Should you remain too long, they are likely to remind their mother that it is time to prepare supper or that she has promised to take them somewhere. The mother will be most apologetic and express the fear that the children have monopolized the visit. But as you leave, you can put her mind at rest by assuring her that seldom have you met such lively, well-informed and intelligent children!
